A fine strategy... if you have nukes.

I thought the point of making and using Jaegers was because nukes were not a viable option?

Actually, I was suggesting countries at complete random regardless of the "pacific" part.

In fact, I am brazilian.

On the movie site, there is the Lima Shatterdome Authorization at Santiago, Chile, which mean the Chilean Jaeger was greenlighted. However, the lack of blueprint or mention outside of it probably mean it is not completed yet in the movie.

[up]Well duh, Striker Eureka is the newest Jaeger. The oldest one, Coyote Tango, has the worst stat.

Edit: Woah, just read the article, it said 9 robots in the movie. We have seen 5: Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon, Striker Eureka, Coyote Tango, Gypsy danger. With Tacit Ronin and Diablo Intercept( awesome names, both of them) mentioned in the "Lima Shatterdome Authorization", we still missed 2.

AUSTRALIA IS AWESOME

Though being the most powerful mech means it might get destroyed first, oh well

So, instead of America Saves the Day, we get Austrailia Saves The Day. Acceptable.

Do you think the other 4 Jaegers will be for other countries, or will some countries have built more than one? Canadian and Korean ones may still be a possibility.

Del Toro posted this to give some clarification over at deltorofilms.com forum. Spoilered for mild.. spoiler:

" 7Jaegers appear "active" in the film and 2 more "passive" or as BG but 4 get big screen action. 7 kaijus do battle, and four more appear in archival footage or as remains. Plus two king of Aliens.

Coyote is built in America but stationed in Japan. The Japanese solo Jaeger Tacit Ronin appears in doco footage."

How many of the Jaegers do you think had US support? An excuse to up the Do D's budget and no one can bitch about it because you need to fight giant monsters? Sounds like a defense contractors wet dream to me.

[up][up] Ah, well that explains the super American name. Seriously, when I heard Coyote Tango I immediately thought that was the US's mech.

Man, I am so damn psyched for this film. It's like legendary is giving us a little taste of what Gojira is going to be. ^,,,^

I wanna see this now. Then when the Blu Ray comes out, watch both this and Battleship and possibly both Expendables films in one massive masculine marathon.grin

Personally, I found Battleship incredibly disappointing in that regard. I'd replace it with Taken. tongue

[up]I on the other hand absolutely wuv Battleship. First troper to go and see it and post my impressions of it and all that stuff, 8-)

Taken is a bit too "realistic" for the popcorn fest I have planned out for this film's blu-ray release.

This Film.

I want this film smothered all over my body when it comes to DVD. wink

IT will be a good preview for Legendary Picture's Godzilla remake.

I thought this film was essentially Godzilla(s) vs. Jaegers.
